Write down the gist of Nitin’s aside as found in Bravely Fought the Queen by Mahesh Dattani.

We come to discern the occurrences of or the examples of ‘aside’ in a drama or in a play. An ‘aside’ is a remark made by a character in the play or in the drama. However, the remark is made to the audience but not to the other characters in that play. The other characters are unaware of what is said in an ‘aside’.

            Through his aside, Nitin gives a vent to his homosexuality in the concluding part of the play. In the course of the play, we come to find that Nitin had a homosexual relationship with Praful, who was Alka’s brother and who has been called deceptive. Since Alka was a sound sleeper, Nitin took advantage of her weak point. 

      After all of the lights were extinguished, Nitin, lying on the cot, waited for minimum an hour. After getting confirmed that Alka, Dolly and Baa—every one of them—had gone to sleep, Nitin went to the room of Praful; the door was closed. Both Nitin and Praful loved each other a lot.
